ExtrAXION Professional

Highlights

	Organize Build a flexible folder-like layout and add the drawings according to project structure. Add as many as required measurement sheets under each drawing. More than one sheet can be open making it straighforward to copy/paste measurements from one sheet to another. Measurements are grouped into sheets (architectural, electrical, mechanical etc). The measurements of the sheet in front are highlighted for easy direct access.
Measure The four basic 2d measurement types (count, length, area, volume) are available and for each type there are several methods for efficiently and accurately carrying it out. Associate each measurement with one or more BOQ items either directly or by using specific formulae. Use legends, labels and measurement analysis templates for easier figure indentification and checking of results.
	Cooperate Work in the same project with other users. Sheets make it possible for more than one users to work on the same drawing. An open editable sheet is locked for other users till closed. BOQ items, parameters etc are also locked during editing.
Export Measurement sheets can be exported in a wide range of formats (dwg, dxf, dgn, bmp, jpg, pdf etc). Export Measurements and BOQ items in xls format. Filter and sort in specialized forms the data to be exported.
	Library Create custom measurement types with specific parameters and formulae. They are used for more complicated cases such as air duct perimeter area, duct weight e.t.c. Define parameters that can be used in formulae that relate measurements to BOQ items

Benefits

• Start the takeoff process from any image or vector file type, as soon as possible, using a simple, yet powerful tool.
• Minimize the time needed for measurements, using tools that significantly accelerate the procedure, such as selective copying of measurements from one drawing to another, measurement reproduction, library with parameters and user-defined measurement types.
• Instantly preview and print full measurement analysis on ready-to-use template sheets, where the analytical surface area calculations, the dimensions, the related work items etc. are presented in every detail.
• Achieve great accuracy, using integrated tools like zoom, magnifier, object snaps etc.
• Eliminate possible errors due to measuring the same element more than once or forgetting to take an element into account.
• Associate any measurement result with one or more work items of the project’s WBS. This way any change in measurements automatically updates the quantity estimation. Any measurement may be directly accessed from the WBS tree.
• Replace all surveying and estimating data of the project, such as drawing files, measurements, photocopies of plans etc., by one "electronic" file which is easy to use and readily accessible.
• Create estimating scenarios by just changing a parameter value, such as a floor height and watch instant results.
• Save time and improve productivity by using custom measurements when the four basic types do not suffice. Create your own custom measurements and define parameters which take their values during the takeoff process.
• Cut costs by saving paper, ink and printing.
